He came to fix her house.
He stayed because someone had to.
Jaxon Grabley doesn’t say much. He shows up, does the work, and goes home—until the woman across the property starts getting texts that make his jaw clench and his hands go still on his tools.
Kara Larsson traded a high-powered New York career for fig preserves and a farmhouse in Elken Grove, and she’d rather smile through anything than admit she didn’t leave the danger behind.
She hasn’t told her brothers. She hasn’t told anyone. Jaxon is the first person who figures it out anyway—and the first one who doesn’t look at her like she should have known better.
Falling for her wasn’t the plan. Covering every window in her house at midnight wasn’t the plan either. But the man she left New York to escape is still out there—closer than either of them knows—and Jaxon isn’t the kind of man who makes a plan and walks away from it.
Perfect for readers who love a quiet protective hero who falls first, a heroine who’s done running, and a small-town stalker suspense that earns its happy ending one boarded window at a time.
Silent Shadows is Book 2 in the Larsson Hearts series—a slow-burn, open-door romance where the emotion runs hotter than the steam. Start with Missing Pieces or dive in right here: every book is a standalone with its own guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating. A complete novella—approximately 29,000 words.
Small town romance with a mystery thread, an open door heat level, approximately 28,000 words. Book 1 in the Larsson Hearts series. Each book stands alone with its own HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.
She doesn’t know her name.
He doesn’t know what to do with that.
Keenan Larsson finds her on the highway—dazed, bruised, walking in the middle of the road on a July afternoon with no memory of who she is or how she got there. He’s an arborist with a cabin in the woods and a quiet life that suits him just fine. The sensible thing would be to drop her at the hospital and get back to it.
He doesn’t do the sensible thing.
She calls herself Jane. She’s wry about it, funny in a way that makes him think whoever she was before, she wasn’t boring. The problem is that someone put her on that road—and someone is now asking questions around Elken Grove, looking for a Jane Doe who survived something she still can’t remember. Keenan isn’t going to let her face that alone. He just hadn’t counted on not wanting to let her go at all. And when the missing pieces finally surface, they’ll change everything—except the one thing that matters most.
Perfect for readers who love a gruff hero who falls first and a heroine who has to find herself before she can choose him.
Small town romance with a mystery thread, an open door heat level, approximately 28,000 words. Book 1 in the Larsson Hearts series. Each book stands alone with its own HEA. No cliffhanger, no cheating.
Binge-read the Firefighters
Short reads with that tinge of the South, sweet tea and all. Small-town stories where love sneaks up on you — right around the time trouble does, too.
I write steamy romance novellas set in the mountains and marshlands of Georgia, where protective heroes and strong-willed women fall headlong into danger and love. Quick, satisfying reads that give you the perfect breather — whether you’re sneaking in a chapter at lunch or staying up way too late to reach that happily-ever-after.
When I’m not dreaming up new ways for couples to find each other (and outrun whoever’s chasing them), I’m puttering around my garden, supervised by my CCO, who firmly believes digging holes helps the tomatoes grow. Currently fuming because some critter made off with all my chilies. Again.
